dex Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 The prequel was good, but I'm not expecting much from the episode as per appearances and who is and isn't The Doctor.
Raven Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 The prequel was good, but I'm not expecting much from the episode as per appearances and who is and isn't The Doctor. I've read that three times and I still have no idea what you are trying to say! (I blame the wine, or you, or me, or Moffat. Why not . . .). I really enjoyed BBC3's The Ultimate Guide to Doctor Who last night. These things are usually dreadful, but whoever put it together had a knack for pairing up the right cut-away with the right comment and the results were quite entertaining. If you missed it, it is on iPlayer and is being repeated again on Friday at 7pm. For those who missed it earlier in the year, The Doctor Who Prom is on Thursday at 7pm, followed by Adventures in Time and Space on BBC2 at 9pm and a screening of all four episodes of An Unearthly Child on BBC 4 at 10.30pm. Also, BBC Radio Four Extra is airing a Doctor Who story every night this week, catch up with them on iPlayer if you've missed the ones so far. Oh, and something is happening this Saturday as well . . .

Raven Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 I ain't reading no spoilers this close to pay day!
dex Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Mere Surmises, as I guarantee you, I Know Nothing.
dex Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 Actors have appeared and then appeared again playing different roles. Do you think they had time for Peter Capaldi to turn up at the end or will they cheat it, like the appearance on the end of the prequel.
Raven Posted November 19, 2013 Posted November 19, 2013 This is pure speculation on my part, but I think they are more likely to slip Eccleston in than Capaldi - it would rather detract from the Christmas story if he showed up early.
dex Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I hope Eccleston does appear as it would make the regenerations clear.
Chrissy Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I am enjoying this run up, and cannot wait for Saturday's fun. Loved the prequel, and appreciate how the Who team are tying everything together. The regeneration from warrior doctor to Doctor Doctor (wasn't that a Thompson Twins song back in the 80's?) number 9 would be great, as I would love to see Mr Eccleston given a role in this 50th anniversary. I LOVED his Doctor, all angst and frowns. Great stuff.
chaliepud Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I'm sure I saw somewhere that he is in it..
Michelle Posted November 20, 2013 Author Posted November 20, 2013 Unfortunately I have read in many articles that Christopher was not interested in coming back at all.
Ben Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 .. then again they said McGann wasn't interested, too. Wouldn't surprise me if CE turned up!
Karsa Orlong Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Interesting interview with Steven Moffatt on Radio 5 at the moment.
Raven Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Really enjoyed An Adventure in Time and Space last night. I'm not sure how accurate it was, but it made for a good story and a fitting tribute to those involved in the origins of the show.
Michelle Posted November 22, 2013 Author Posted November 22, 2013 Doctor Who - The Beginning has a good documentary about how it all started. I haven't watched An Adventure in Time and Space yet, probably will on Saturday afternoon.
Chrissy Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 I really enjoyed that . Same here, and am really looking forward to watching it again. Unexpected in parts and satisfying overall.
chaliepud Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Was great, even though I'm not a Matt Smith fan. Loved seeing Tom Baker!!!!
Kylie Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who doesn't 'get' Doctor Who. I've watched it quite a few times but it's all a little too...silly...for me. Still, I'm going to start watching it all from the very beginning one day in the hope that it will 'click' with me. Actually, it's not so much that I don't like or get the show, it's that I don't understand people's obsession with it. Anyway, to redeem myself in everyone's eyes, I'd like to point out that I'm an awesome girlfriend because I bought Tom Baker's scarf (well, a replica - it looks identical to the one the lab/museum (whatever) girl is wearing in the 50th anniversary episode) for my BF a few months' back. He wore it all the time during winter and received several compliments from complete strangers. And because it's 12 feet long, it came in very handy once or twice when I was cold because we could both wear it at the same time.

I've watched it quite a few times but it's all a little too...silly...for me. Not just you, Kylie, I've tried so many times to get into it and just can't I did watch it last night, though, and it was quite good fun after a cringe-inducing opening ten minutes or so
Michelle Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 Kylie, I'm one of the obsessed people, and even I can't explain why! lol I loved it last night, the interactions were brill, Gallifrey can easily be brought back, and Tom Baker turned up! Did anyone watch the Peter Davison thing on the red button? It's also available here: http://www.doctorwhotv.co.uk/watch-the-fiveish-doctors-reboot-56047.htm. It finished off my evening perfectly!
lauraloves Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 I love love loved that! I loved the interaction with the three doctors and Tom Baker was brilliant too
